Creedence Clearwater Revival - John Foggarty


I just picked up his new disc in which various artists all collaborate in re-doing some of CCR's old favorites. Great disc and most of all great music. I had a few of their albums back - '' in the day'' and stupidly traded them or gave them away. I would like to re-start up CCR's collection on disc as I do see where many of them have been remastered.....let me know your thoughts on which one to start with.

love classic credence, but agree with mofi & ozzy--the tribute disc bit the big one.
as for where to begin, i'd actually start with their debut and work your way up to their fifth and finest record, cosmo's factory. (everything thereafter is dispensable or worse). alternatively, chronicle vol.1 and vol.2, which are sorta-greatest hits comps, are really excellent collections with lotsa obscurities and deep tracks. enjoy.
For me, the amazing thing about CCR is that not only are all of the first 5 albums terrific, but all 5 were released within 24 months of July 1968. I think it might be the best 2 year run in rock n roll history

Even though those albums were made long ago, I still regularly listen to them.
One of John Fogerty's greatest performance's ever is a film
concert done by Warner Brother's in 1997 inside one of their studio auditorium's on Stage 15. The title of the DVD is "Premonition". The backdrop on the stage set is a authentic Bayou swamp with a rustic cabin at night time. The opening number is "Born on the Bayou" done to perfection. The band puts out the power and the drummer is excellent. John perform's all the great Creedence song's to perfection as well. This is a must have DVD. I bought it in the summer of '98 and played it every night for a week. Very addictive performance.
